With the Hawker Tempest firmly back in the limelight thanks to Eduard's excellent new-tool 1:48 kit, Mark Peacock has sent us great news that the Valiant Wings guide to the aircraft is to be reprinted in a revised and expanded form.
I am delighted to announce the revised and expanded edition of our fourth title in the ever-popular Airframe & Miniature series, The Hawker Tempest – A Complete Guide To The RAF’s Last Piston Engine Fighter by Richard A. Franks.

This fourth book in our much-acclaimed series is back by popular demand after a long absence and will now contain at least 160 pages packed with vital information that no active modeller and Tempest enthusiast should be without.

The book will contain:
• Over 40 pages of technical information
• Over 20 pages of walkaround images and technical diagrams
• Over 5 pages of camouflage and markings
• Over 25 pages of model builds and modelling information
• Over 200 photographs including wartime images
• Colour side views and four-views by Richard Caruana
• 3D isometric views of all variants by Jacek Jackiewicz
• New front cover by Jerry Boucher
• 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 scale full kit builds by Libor Jekl, Steve Evans and John Wilkes, including builds of the new tool 1/48 Eduard Tempest V Srs 1 and 1/32 Special Hobby Tempest V kits

As with prior titles a full set of fold-out 1/48 scale plans will be included

RRP will be £18.95 per copy.

ISBN is 978-1-912932-01-6. We are aiming for publication in late February. Orders can be placed at www.valiant-wings.co.uk, by ‘phone at +44 (0)1234 273434 or by writing to:
